Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "There are forbidden troops guarding the outside of Qingyu Palace. Even if Concubine Xian goes crazy and wants to run out, she still has to get through the forbidden troops. You ask Gu Si to check the forbidden troops and see if they are bribed by the harem.
Find it out for me and punish him severely."
Eunuch Mu Ru hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian ran out at that time and pointed the hairpin at her own neck, and the imperial guards did not dare to move."
Emperor Ming Yuan slapped the table and said sternly: "Excuse, if there is no collusion between inside and outside, how can we easily let her run out? Also, how many sharp weapons are in Qingyu Palace? Have you counted her jewelry box? Palace
The craftsmen inside are not allowed to do this. If the people in her palace are ordered to go out, they must report back how long they have been out and where they have been. Check, check them all to see which other slaves help her exchange news with the Su family. Who?
Prepare these sharp weapons for her."
Eunuch Mu Ru was furious when he heard him and did not dare to help the imperial army anymore.
In fact, everyone knows very well, how can there be no fishy things in Qingyu Palace? It's just that Eunuch Mu Ru feels that if he pulls his whole body, if he really wants to check deeper, he is afraid that everyone's body will be unclean.
The personnel affairs in each palace are intricately intertwined, and each palace has internal contacts from other palaces. This has been the case since the beginning of the Taishang Dynasty.
If we really check, there will probably be an earthquake in the harem.
In addition, the imperial concubine has just begun to take charge of matters in the Sixth Palace. If strict investigation is carried out, she will offend some people and start to make enemies.
However, Eunuch Mu Ru also knew the purpose of the emperor's anger. He did not intend to deal with the queen, but he had to find a place to vent his anger, so he angered the Forbidden Army and the original people of Qingyu Palace.
.
Emperor Ming Yuan slowly calmed down, stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. In the royal study, the palace officials had already lit up all the lights in the palace according to his past habits.
The hall was filled with earth dragons, and the heater was blowing up to the feet. Emperor Ming Yuan sat on the dragon chair, looking at the piles of memorials, and then thinking of the bad things in the harem before, the anger that had just been suppressed surged up again, and he actually killed it with one hand.
He smashed the good inkstone out.
Eunuch Mu Ru was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away, picked up the inkstone and carried it over, saying softly: "Your Majesty, why do you have to get angry with these dead things? Dead things don't hurt or itch, but they hurt you."
body."
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was livid, and he stared at Eunuch Mu Ru with a pair of sparkling eyes, "Do you think I'm a coward? You know clearly that the Queen is stirring up trouble, but you dare not touch her."
After hearing this, Eunuch Mu Ru almost couldn't hold back tears and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, how could this old slave have such an idea? Others don't understand, but this old slave knows you best. You are thinking about the overall situation.
I am willing to cause chaos in the harem at this juncture, but I am afraid that the Chu family will not be able to suppress it and another trouble will occur to the Su family, so I will hide this matter."
Emperor Ming Yuan also said it anyway, so he just didn't complain, "It's not that I can't touch the queen, I can also abolish her. The Chu family seems to be in full swing now, and Chu's chief minister almost covers the sky with one hand, but it doesn't matter, the chief minister
No matter what, he is still loyal to me. If he changes his position, although it will cause displeasure to the Chu family, it will not cause much trouble."
When Eunuch Mu Ru heard this, he was a little confused.
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned and his voice was full of sadness, "I have reached middle age. I have become hard-hearted due to political affairs over the years. But in the final analysis, I am also made of human heart. No matter whether I am a queen or a concubine, they all have a heart of stone."
They followed me when they were in exile. They wanted to give birth to children for me. They have been a couple for more than 20 years. I killed one, is it possible that I have to destroy another one? I know what they are asking for. The wise concubine is the prince.
Mother, I cannot allow her to be so wanton and disrupt the country. The queen has a legitimate son, but she was not appointed as the crown prince. She feels aggrieved in her heart. She is my legitimate wife, and I can understand her feelings, but she
She is the queen, but I cannot forgive her for being in charge of the Sixth Palace but wantonly instigating troubles in the palace. Therefore, whether I deal with her or not, I am useless. Is there anyone in this huge harem and the entire Yuwen family who agrees with me?"
Emperor Ming Yuan's last words made Eunuch Mu Ru feel extremely uncomfortable. The emperor would never say such things in front of him. No matter how big the matter was, the emperor would face it without changing his face. He would deal with whatever he could handle and also with what he couldn't.
Putting it aside indifferently, just like before, the Su family actually found a lot of things, but because he couldn't investigate them one by one, he just put them away and didn't worry about it.
Now that I think about it, the emperor is not able to deal with it indifferently, but has it all stored up in his heart. Now that the problem lies with the queen who is the head of the harem, and the concubine Xian has just been executed, he can't hold it back for a while.
Eunuch Mu Ru comforted him a few words. Emperor Ming Yuan was still livid, but at least he didn't lose his temper and continued to correct the memorial.
